Hot Toys – MMS202D04 - 1/6th scale RoboCop Collectible Figure

[ironmann]

Any love for the Robocop 2 colors?

I took a pic to compare the old and new colors. Yeah I like the old robocop's color but that repaint is much better.

Man, I can't look at my Hot Toys Robocop figures the same way now.

Thanks a lot guys.

Looks great. Just wondering how you will approach the die cast parts. will the Tamiya paints work?

yeah it'll work fine!

This is supposedly going to turn up at my retailer of choice next month, only decided to commit to purchasing it today though, been pondering for months & then forgot about it for a bit, checked last week & I was surprised it hadn't sold out but still I was in ponder mode, watched a few reviews on YouTube today & sold. lol

Has anyone that ordered from Sideshow received theirs yet? Seems like BBTS is the way to go to get him in hand.

I picked mine up yesterday. I was impressed from the moment I took the box out of the shipper.
The outer box is gorgeous and when I pulled open the styro lid... Robo just looked stunning.
No issues with this what so ever. A beautiful figure all round, and now facing off against the Terminator!!!

Glad to hear/read it. Have you ordered anything else Robocop wise? I'm pondering as to whether I want the battle damage figure, if it had a helmet option I'd be sold on it..., unhelmeted not so keen. :/

Sure shows how key lighting can be with this figure. When I finally display it, I'm going to be sure to put in a lot of time, there. Like the blue/red 'police' lights they were using on him, too.

You already have the semi-BD figure with the helmet... Helmet for this version wouldn't even be accurate to the film (unless you want one at his feet, but then you can use the semi-BD helmet from the reg release). The whole draw of this figure is the Peter Weller sculpt. For my money, anyway, both are necessary.

I'll try and take a couple of pics tomorrow, but once you get this thing in the top shelf of a detolf and the black reflects off the armour, it starts to look much more film-accurate. Not going to pretend it's perfect, it is somewhat too silver under direct light and against a pale neutral backdrop, but it's not as bad as a lot of the photos would lead you to believe.

Overall it's a fantastic figure and I'm glad I was able to get hold of one.

Yup, the Red and Blue lights flashing on robo looks awesome, that was a cool Idea for a showcase.

I recently bought the original trilogy again but on Blu ray this time, when new technology comes along I like to see if they can improve..., I think Robocop 2 benefited from the transfer but the original looked a little grainy in places (the news room scenes), don't regret my purchase though & it'll be nice to have a figure now too as well as the movies..., I'm toying with the idea of buying a new Robocop figure now so I have examples of both, not sure yet though.

Good point, I shall ponder on it some more then.

Hell no buddy!!! BBTS will replace it

I hope so. I can't even pull the helmet off to change faceplates because the head is so loose it comes off. The magnet in the helmet is stronger than the ball joint connection.

I believe that set has the old transfer because the new transfer is freaking awesome.

This is what you need

I have no idea why that link says "403 forbidden"..but click on it anyways it takes you to the review at bluray.com

Apart from a lil 6" figure and a car I had YEARS ago, this is my first Robo figure.
I actually only went into the store to pick up R2, but he was unpacking his arrivals, and I saw the Robo box. I bought it on the spot.
I had seen the preview pics for the upcoming Murphy / Robo twin pack. No offence to the Murphy figure, but I'm not interested. I love the original shiny Robo look, and have done since seeing it in the cinema in the 80s.
I think he needs the helmet, and you get the best of both worlds here with the battle damaged helmet and chest piece.
I am totally sold on this figure.
Stunning.

Thanks for the link, made for an interesting read..., I'll have to check what my box set says date wise & get the single release version if it's the bare bones one in the box set.

I like grit and grain in films, personally. I think modern movies often suffer for being too clean, clinical and shiny. The news room scenes, if I remember rightly, were actually shot in standard TV definition - it's an effect that works very well if you ever get the opportunity to see the film on the big screen, where it truly shines. I'd love to see Robocop 2 at a cinema, it's not perfect but I personally think it's a very underrated film.

I finally got round to taking a picture of this figure in a detolf. No flash, no direct lighting. Apologies for the graininess, I'm working with a terrible camera that doesn't have a decent range of ISO/shutter speed settings. Still, I feel this is a good representation of what the figure looks like on display.

Nice pic man, and another example of how lighting strongly changes the look of this figure's paint job - he looks like RoboCop 2 Robo there.
